Hvin Rambis picked up the porcelain teacup beside him and took a sip. Looking at Audrey, who was sitting upright without any mistakes, he smiled amiably and said, "There's no need to be so restrained.
It's not like this is the first time you've met me. I still remember that two years ago, you even discussed Berman's moral philosophy and Kongsso's pragmatism with me. "
Audrey maintained her faint smile.
"I just find it hard to associate you with a councilor of the Psychological Alchemy Board."
Hvin Rambis had yet to introduce himself, but this was a reasonable deduction based on Audrey's knowledge of Psychological Alchemy and the present situation.
Hvin crossed her right leg and smiled.
"That's not something worth paying attention to. Never forget that our Psychological Alchemy is an organization established to research knowledge in the mind. We are more inclined towards academics than official matters. Heh, since it's academics, you can totally treat the so-called councilors as university professors."
If she hadn't learned from Mr. World that Hvin Rambis was the mastermind behind Cuarón's suicide, Audrey could only conclude that he was a knowledgeable, amiable, witty, and not arrogant scholar no matter how she observed him. But since she was wary, Audrey didn't believe what she saw on the surface.
As she looked at him and organized her words, she didn't allow herself to focus too much on a single point. She kept her thoughts active and divergent to prevent herself from being hypnotized without realizing it.
At this moment, her mind suddenly went into a daze. She seemed to see seven pure lights that contained infinite knowledge, as well as indescribable figures that filled the sky and blanketed everything.
This was a spirituality sky, a reflection of the spirit world at the level of the mind!
And beneath the spirituality sky was a dark and dark sea. Every drop of water there was like a shadow, as though they represented a bit of consciousness or a mark.
There were several islands near the sea, and one of them belonged to Audrey.
She clearly recognized that this was a symbolic manifestation of her consciousness. What was exposed on the surface of the sea was the part that she could perceive, and what was submerged by the "seawater" was the deeper level of consciousness that she usually couldn't grasp or probe.
Floating above the island and looking at the bottom, the first thing Audrey noticed was a vast expanse of loneliness and silence. It blocked her vision, leaving her only able to see the huge and dark silhouette of the subconscious and the illusory, rippling sea of collective subconscious. It was difficult to obtain too much information.
Audrey was wondering why she had entered such a strange state. Suddenly, she saw that at the bottom of the island, deep in the sea of subconscious consciousness, a large expanse of gray separated like a tide, revealing a stone staircase that had appeared out of nowhere.
On the steps, a figure leaped up quickly in a flash. Almost instantly, he entered Audrey's line of sight.
His hair was thick but completely white, and he wore a standard three-piece suit and striped blue-gray trousers. He wore a dark red bow tie, and the wrinkles on his forehead were rather heavy. It was none other than Hvin Rambis!
Compared to the one sitting on the sofa, this Rambis had a sinister aura. He didn't smile at all, and his head was slightly lowered, as though he was observing Audrey's subconscious consciousness behind the stairs.
In a few steps, he entered Audrey's island of consciousness from the sea of collective subconscious. He walked from the subconscious domain to the surface of the sea, like a silent visitor without permission or knocking on the door.
After landing on the island, Hvin Rambis raised his head. Part of his skin was already covered in grayish-white scales. His eyes were golden and vertical, without any emotion.
This … Floating in midair, Audrey watched this scene and came to a realization of the current situation.
This is the World of the Mind, a mind World formed from the spirituality sky, the sea of collective subconscious, and an individual island of consciousness!
Due to the blessings given by Mr. Fool's angel, Hvin Rambis used the sea of collective subconscious to secretly invade my Body of Heart and Mind domain, triggering "Alarm" … That power then separated my most intrinsic self-consciousness, allowing me to control everything that happens on the "island" under the spirituality sky, thereby resisting true mind-reading … This is really magical. No, Hvin Rambis is really despicable! He's not polite at all. He barged into someone else's "home" without permission or notice! Audrey mumbled in midair.
Having understood her situation, she secretly influenced the changes on the "island" while replying to Hvin Rambis, who was sitting leisurely on the sofa in the real World.
"I'm also very reserved in front of a university professor."
As she spoke, Audrey made the island in her heart grunt.
This isn't a good comparison at all. As an old Psychological Alchemy councilor, he's at least a Sequence 4. He's an existence that's considered a demigod. It's natural to feel reverent and restrained!
Hvin Rambis, who was sitting on the sofa, chuckled.
"Then I won't force you. I heard Hilbert mention you. He said that you only took a few months to advance from a Psychiatrist to a Hypnotist. I'm very curious. How did you do it? Yes, I've also heard about the answer you told Escalante. It's the courage to apply it. I want to hear more details. "
At this moment, Hvin Rambis, who was on Audrey's mind island, was observing his surroundings with a deadpan expression, listening to the echoing voices.
Audrey was already prepared for this. She deliberately pretended to organize her words and only said after a few seconds.
After a few seconds, she said, "It's the superficial meaning of 'the courage to apply it.'
"Hmm … Let's put it this way. In my future plans, I've always had the option of becoming a Psychiatrist. Since I have the corresponding Beyonder powers, I-I'm definitely willing to give it a try. I'm very willing to use them to help the people around me resolve their mental or psychological problems."
As she spoke, she seemed a little embarrassed by her somewhat childish behavior. The mind island faithfully reflected this point.
After a pause, Audrey continued to speak.
"During this process, I realized that my control over the potion's power was getting better and better. Then, one day, I felt something in my body shatter and fuse into my blood. It made me see illusory stars one after another. Mr. Rambis, what does this mean?
"Hmm, I don't know why, but from that day onwards, I was certain that I could become a Hypnotist. Perhaps it was a subconscious hint."
After saying that, Audrey deliberately made herself on the mind island stick out her tongue like a child. She did something that she definitely wouldn't do normally to prove that she was really a little embarrassed. This was because acting as a Psychiatrist was no different from acting as a princess when she was young.
Awkwardness often meant that he was telling the truth.
Hvin Rambis nodded gently.
"He's very talented. He actually figured out the 'acting method' by himself."
"Acting Method?" Audrey was astonished and at a loss. Then, she seemed to have understood something.
Hvin Rambis smiled amiably.
"It's what you understand it to be. Acting according to the name of the magic potion and concluding the corresponding rules. This was an effective way to digest the potion and reduce the negative effects.
"However, at Sequence 6.
Previously, we didn't encourage members to use this method to speed up the digestion of potions, so we didn't teach you. Who knew that you would figure it out yourself. "
"Why not?" Audrey asked with sincerity and confusion.
Hvin Rambis sighed.
"This will cause the members to become unlike themselves, and some will even be assimilated by the residual effects of the potion.
"To put it simply, the first three Sequences will slowly grasp their powers and slowly adapt to the Beyonder, allowing their self-awareness to become deeper, clearer, and more mature. This will help them deal with the problems brought about by the 'acting method.'
"Of course, I can only give my opinion on the Spectator pathway. As for the other Beyonder pathways, I'm not sure if it's the same. Clearly, pathways that focus on the mind will always have a little different in terms of self-awareness."
Audrey was unable to determine if Hvin Rambis was lying. She only felt that it made sense, but it wasn't completely correct.
Little Sun mentioned before that the 'acting method' has a rule of "remember, you're only acting" … I think that's more appropriate. Yes, I've always strictly abided by it, and I'll do the same in the future … Audrey, you can't be careless. From now on, you have to pay more attention to strengthening your self-awareness! From Mr. Fool's point of view, this is definitely a trivial problem. There's no need to emphasize it. It's included in the phrase "only acting," but to ordinary people, it might be rather important … As Audrey's thoughts raced, she took the initiative to ask,
"Can you explain the 'acting method' in more detail?"
Hvin Rambis gave a more detailed explanation before saying, "That's right.
"You do have the talent and qualifications to apply for the Sequence 5 Dreamwalker potion formula, but before that, I will give you some missions. This is both a need for fairness and also a form of training for your abilities. This is because when you reach Sequence 5, you will lead two to three psychological discussion groups. Every judgment and choice you make will affect the future of the members under you, or even their lives. Therefore, we cannot let a person who lacks the ability to handle matters advance to Sequence 5."
"I understand." Audrey had no objections to this. "What's the first mission?"
Hvin Rambis smiled.
"A simple but relatively long-term mission. Every feedback you give will be counted as a contribution."
At this point, he sighed.
"The gap between the New Party and the Conservative Party is widening, and there are more and more conflicts. There has already been a certain level of rift in the kingdom. I hope that you can pay attention to your father, Earl Hall's attitude. Convey his views on certain bills or matters to me. Don't worry, this won't cause him any harm. We only wish to mend the rift."
The last half of his sentence actually didn't have any logical support. It was just a promise, but as Hvin Rambis raised his right hand and pressed his forehead on Audrey's mind island, Audrey felt that what he said made sense. She firmly believed him.
Floating in midair in the mind World, she immediately snapped to her senses and realized that something was amiss.
